Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water. 

She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. 

Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. 

A DEAD BODY!

Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" 

Surprised to see his young miss awake at this hour, he stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here.

"Gardening."

"And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief.

"Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Belle was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?!

She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?" he gave her a sweet smile.

Belle Adams' Butler

Belle could feel every kick that Portia gave her. Her reflection appeared to hate her more than she had imagined it to be and somewhere it was justifiable on why there was so much hate harboured but at the same time, Belle was not the one who she was supposed to hate on as she was a young girl when the incident of the soul parting away from her body had taken place.

"AH!" Belle cried in pain when Portia continued to hurt her, and she could feel blood bubbling up in her throat that she spat, coughing to herself.

"I have been in so much pain, and you don't care. Even the first time you saw me, you left. You didn't stay to talk to me," complained Portia giving Belle a break from the kicking, "How could you leave your own self in here in the dark. How selfish could you be?"
